(25,812 posts)6. Flipper was a source of irritation for me during its run on TV
Incipient OCD compelled me to find fault with Flippers very limited vocabulary. There were only a scant handful of porpoise noises used throughout the run of the series - some of which have been recycled elsewhere over the years.
I was a tad annoying by my tween years, incredulous that nobody else cared about the laziness of the shows producers. Family and friends remained unconcerned.
